Chocolate and Coconut Ice Cream Bars

If you like Bounty bars, you’re going to fall in love with these chocolate and coconut ice cream bars! These bars make the ultimate summer treat – crispy chocolate coating on the outside, easy creamy coconut ice cream on the inside. Simply one off the most delicious desserts you can make in these hot summer days.

I love chocolate and coconut so much – this is absolutely a match made in heaven, flavors-wise. The coconut combines perfectly with chocolate, and they both make a delicious combo. These bars are easy to make, and with only a few ingredients (no eggs or ice cream machine) you get a wonderful summer dessert that’s also super additive (so be careful 😉).
